3. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit strap by squeezing the two tabs of the quick release buckle. The sealant can only be used to seal one tire. After usage, the sealant canister and sealant filling hose assembly must be replaced at a dealer/retailer. See Removal and Installation of Sealant Canister later in this section. Check the tire sealant expiration date on the sealant canister, if it has expired, see your dealer/retailer for a replacement. Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit Follow these directions closely for correct sealant usage. 4. Remove the sealant and compressor kit from its foam container. 1. Place the sealant and compressor kit on the ground and unwrap the sealant filling hose from the compressor. 2. Remove the air compressor accessory plug from the unit. To do this, pull the top portion of the wrapped cord out first, then the bottom, and then unsnap the plug. Do not insert the plug into an accessory outlet yet. 3. Remove the valve stem cap or tire pressure monitoring sensor from the flat tire by turning it counterclockwise. If an object, such as a nail, has penetrated the tire, do not remove it. Tire Sealant Read and follow the safe handling instructions on the sealant canister. The sealant can temporarily seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire. The sealant cannot seal sidewall damage, large punctures, or a tire that has unseated from the wheel. See Roadside Service on page 7-6 if you need assistance. 5-89
